Archives board declines Bill Clark bison sculpture proposal
Summary
The Public Arts Committee proposed installing a Bill Clark metal bison at the Archives; the board concluded the piece was not a good fit and Director Aubrey Jaap will notify the committee.
The board discussed a proposal from the Public Arts Committee to install one of Bill Clark's metalwork statues (the example cited was a bison) at the Archives site. After brief consideration, the board determined the sculpture would not be a good fit for the Archives.
The minutes state that the Public Arts Committee approached the Archives about the installation and record that the board's position is to decline; Director Aubrey Jaap was tasked with responding to the committee. No formal vote or amendment is recorded in the minutes regarding the sculpture.
The decision was described in the meeting summary as a matter of fit and site suitability rather than a disciplinary or financial action.
